    Abstract: This study explores doctrine as a legal category. The researcher notes the polysemy of the
etymologic interpretations of this notion and identifies the main characteristics of legal doctrine and its social
designation. The researcher posits a thesis that the role of doctrine as a formal legal source of law has become
more important amidst globalization and integration. The researcher has come to the conclusion, through a deep
and comprehensive analysis that the perception of this category differs significantly in different legal traditions.
